I thought diabetics couldn't have regular flour and had to be wheat flour. I notice allot of diabetic recipes with regular flour in them. And also know its hard to take everything out of the food almost impossible, or it is going to be uneatable.

Diabetics mainly focus on moderation. It is next to impossible to eliminate everything from your diet, but cutting out some things, making trade-offs, and cutting portions is how many diabetics still enjoy their fare.

My dh's boss really enjoyed this and it didn't impact his sugars near as much as many other holiday delights.

Also, it is really difficult to make a cake with whole wheat flour alone, it doesn't rise right.
